Http404 is an exception, so yes, it should cause process_exception() to be run. The test suite for middleware processing might be (slightly) illuminating here; it's a bit long winded and gnarly, but it enumerates and validates the full path for every possible combination of middleware and response type. Look at regression_tests/middleware_exceptions; test_process_exception_middleware_not_found is the test for your specific case. Out of interest -- can you put your finger on why you heretofore thought Http404 didn't hit exception middleware? I've done a quick poke through the history of the middleware handling code, and I can't see any obvious reason why this would have changed (even inadvertently).
